Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea is part of Global Hotel Alliance and of the Green Collection, a carefully curated portfolio of over 200 hotels, resorts and palaces in the GHA DISCOVERY programme committed to creating a more sustainable future.

Hospitality is witnessing change because of climate change, and we all must do our bit for the next generation.

We discuss the various sustainability initiatives of the property (including the forest in the lobby that acts as a carbon sink and air purification system), how to train and work with a sustainability team to promote more innovation, how to create measurable impact, and what the future holds for general managers looking to improve the sustainability standing of their properties.
